NORTH SHORE -- In its last scheduled meeting before a summer break, Community Board 1 held a full session Tuesday evening at All Saints Episcopal Church in Meiers Corners, and land-use issues dominated the agenda.

The vote was 29 votes in favor, with another vote recorded as "ineligible."

A second motion sought to place conditions on the proposed renovation of the historic building by the husband-and-wife couple -- Devone Henry and Kecia Weaver --who purchased the property last year.

The conditions, as explained to Board members by land-use chair Vincent Accornero, included:

Adherence to New York City Quiet Law 113, which prohibits "excessive and unreasonable noises," including from sound devices, between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

Installation of double-paned, insulated windows on the first and second floors of the historic building.

Installation of insulation "either as decorative interior padding or blown insulation between walls, as well as acoustic ceiling on both first and second floors to mitigate noise."

Amplified music to be limited to the first floor only, and not past midnight.

"Landscape both the parking lot and the lot line at 404 Richmond Terrace to provide a vegetative sound buffer between (the) commercial entity and residents (of nearby streets)."

"Provide valet parking to avoid congestion on local residential streets."

"Keep garbage receptacles in a discreet area at the furthest point from the nearest residential building."

"Require all exterior lighting to point downward and away from residential buildings."

The land use committe's recommended conditions passed by unanimous vote of the full Board.

PROPOSED GROUP HOME IN STAPLETON 'A PROBLEM'

In another land-use item, Board chairwoman Leticia Remauro addressed community concerns about plans to convert 931 Van Duzer St. in Stapleton into a group home or SRO-type facility, calling the developers' proposal "a problem."

"We don't know what" the developers are planning, she said, explaining that they reported getting funding from the city Human Resources Administration "but they're not."

Ms. Remauro cautioned: "We need to make sure our neighborhoods are zoned correctly," and "we need to be vigilant."

FIVE NEW BOARD MEMBERS

Community Board 1 installed and welcomed five new members at the Tuesday meeting: Telee Brown, Megan Delmar, Christopher Greene, John McBeth and James Samuels.

In the public session of the meeting, representatives from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority presented a briefing about the ongoing Verrazano-Narrows Bridge capital projects, including the $237 million upper-deck replacement, expected to be completed in Fall 2017.
